Naruto Chapter 593: Orochimaru Ressurected
Suigetsu expresses confusion regarding Sasuke's decision to revive Orochimaru, telling Sasuke that he can perform the contents of the scroll himself if he gave himself time. Sasuke tells him that there are things that only Orochimaru can do, telling Suigetsu that he underestimates Orochimaru too much. Suigetsu disagrees, telling Sasuke that if he revives Orochimaru, he'll try to take Sasuke's body and participate in the war because of his hatred against Konoha. Sasuke doesn't acknowledge Suigetsu's words and props up Anko, who is lying nearby, to reveal the seal that Orochimaru once left on her. He asks Suigetsu to get some of Kabuto's flesh, but when Suigetsu doesn't, Jugo gets it himself, telling Suigetsu that he's following Sasuke's will because it's Kimimaro's will to do so. They apply Kabuto's flesh on Anko and Sasuke performs a reverse of Fuuja Houin that was once used to seal the cursed seal on him. Sasuke uses Kaija Houin and a snake came from Kabuto's flesh on Anko. Orochimaru appears from the snake's mouth, causing Suigetsu to hide behind Kabuto. Orochimaru detaches his body from the snake, commenting that he didn't think Sasuke would be the one to revive him. Orochimaru looks at Kabuto. Sasuke tells Orochimaru that he needs him to do something, but Orochimaru tells him that because of the seal he left on Anko, he is able to observe and hear the conversations around him. Orochimaru tells Suigetsu that he is wrong, because he doesn't have an interest in the war since he didn't start it and all he wants is Sasuke's body. Orochimaru confesses, though, that he still doesn't have enough power to steal it. Sasuke hands him the scroll and Orochimaru asks him why he wants to meet them. Sasuke just answers that he wants to get the answers from them, with Orochimaru commenting that he's just a child. Sasuke remembers Itachi's words of regret in treating Sasuke like a child. Sasuke tells Orochimaru that he is no longer a child and he wants to determine the actions that he should take. Orochimaru asks if he's no longer focused on revenge and Sasuke tells him that reuniting with Itachi caused him to have more hatred towards Konoha, but had realized he needs to find out more after finding out about Itachi's real role in the death of his clan. Sasuke tells Orochimaru that he needs to know everything in order to decide what he must do with his own will. Orochimaru silently observes how Sasuke has become different because of Itachi's actions. Orochimaru moves towards Kabuto and removes his chakra that Kabuto ingested, leaving Kabuto's own chakra to sustain him. Orochimaru tells Sasuke that he will lead him to the place he needs to go, which is a place that Sasuke knows well.

One Piece Chapter 674: The Spectators
Nami in Sanji's body and Usopp face against Caesar, who tells them that the children are in pain because they were taken from their home. Nami shouts in anger that they are going to take the children home because they want to see their parents. Caesar points out that in their current state, none of the children wants to go home and only wants to get the candy that he can provide. The children attack Nami in Sanji's body and Usopp in order to get to Caesar. When Usopp tries to attack the children in their violence, Nami reminds him about how they cried that they want to return to their parents, telling Usopp that they have to find a way to direct the children's anger towards Caesar. The bigger children finally escaped from their chains, prompting Usopp to attack Caesar with a fireball, intending to make him explode because of his gas. But his attack is useless, and Caesar explains the true nature of his power. He tells them that it's not true that his gas power involves just poison, but actually all of the gas in the atmosphere. He used his ability to remove the oxygen to stop the fire before it reached him, pointing out that he can remove the oxygen that they are breathing as well. Usopp collapses from the lack of oxygen and Nami follows soon after before she can use her clima-tac. While the two are on the ground struggling for breath, Caesar tells them that he did the same thing to Luffy and the others. Caesar tells the children that he will give candy to those who are good and commands them to kill Nami and Usopp. The children's attacks are thwarted by Brownbeard, who takes the pipe from the children and attacks Caesar with it. Because of the sudden attack, Caesar's control of the oxygen loosened, allowing Nami and Usopp to breathe again. Caesar tells the children to escape. Brownbeard tells him that he will take his men back to save them. Caesar laughs, telling Brownbeard that when he joined Caesar, he was no longer a captain and became one of Caesar's subordinates. Caesar tells Brownbeard that his former men follow Caesar, not knowing that they are just guinea pigs. Nami and Usopp chase after the kids when a big explosion occurs in the cave. They are also attacked by Caesar, who left them for dead in the snow. Caesar takes the gas balloon with the children on board, communicating with Mone regarding the bait for Smiley. He communicates with the illegal brokers as well, telling them that they are about to witness the effects of the poison gas that has been enhanced over the years. He announces that they can choose to use the weapon for wars, domination or to steal countries, telling them that they can watch its effects on the intruders of Punk Hazard. The illegal brokers watch from their screens, waiting for the weapons test to begin.
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Chapter 393: Tsuna's Persuasion
Tsuna's parents arrive home from the hospital, where Nana has been staying and was told that she suffered from hallucinations due to stress. She cheerfully goes back to housework, while Iemitsu and Bianchi discuss the recent events. Bianchi tells Iemitsu that Tsuna is like a different person, taking charge in order to save Reborn. Iemitsu comments that he would have liked to see Tsuna's big moment, then correctly surmises that Reborn isn't on board with Tsuna's plans. Tsuna is by himself, lying down on the grass near the temple and staring at the new charm Kyoko and the others gave him. Reborn arrives, asking Tsuna if he did what what he needed to do. Even if Tsuna is unable to give a reply, Reborn seems to understand and tells his student that he also had something to do himself. Reborn asks Tsuna to relinquish the boss watch, telling Tsuna that he is pulling out of the Rainbow Representative Battle. Tsuna tries to tell Reborn about his plans, but Reborn tells him that he already knows and still won't let Tsuna fight. Tsuna asks if Reborn doesn't trust him and Reborn replies that he can't send Tsuna to a battle that he knows he can't win. When Tsuna tells him that they won't know until they try, Reborn tells him that he knows the definite outcome will not be in their favor. Snapping, Tsuna challenges Reborn to take the boss battle watch away from him. Tsuna unleashes a large amount of energy, but Reborn tells him that while he acknowledges his increase in strength, it's not enough to defeat Jager's strength and Bermuda's determination. Reborn tells him that his goal is to turn Tsuna into a splending Vongola Decimo, saying that there will be no point if Tsuna dies. Tsuna counters that it's the opposite, saying that the Primo would have said that someone who would abandon his friends can't be entrusted with the Vongola. Tsuna tells Reborn that he can't lose, since he has Reborn for his tutor. Unleashing even more dying will flames, Tsuna tells his tutor that the strength to risk death is the strength of determination. Reborn comments that the flames might not be enough to match Jager's strength, but tells Tsuna that he suddenly feels like living a little bit longer in order to see Tsuna grow more. Reborn asks Tsuna to keep him alive. Reborn tells Tsuna that he needs to win and that Reborn will join his efforts to create a strategy to win against Bermuda's team. Suddenly, another voice tells them that they will join in too, and Reborn and Tsuna turn to find the rest of the Arcobaleno expressing their support. They decide that the Arcobaleno whose teams have already lost can still join in to help in their own way. Reborn asks Yuni if she's alright after seeing tears in her eyes. Yuni replies that she's happy, since the Arcobaleno's feelings have become one.
Fairy Tail Chapter 291: Naval Battle
The fourth day of the Dai-Matou Enbu begins, starting with the competition Naval Battle, requiring one participant per team fighting to be the last person in the water sphere. The commentators are joined by guest Scheherazade troupe chairman Rabian as they watch Lamia Scale's Chelia, Blue Pegasus's Jenny Eve, Mermaid Heel's Risely, Fairy Tail B's Juvia, Sabertooth's Minerva, Fairy Tail A's Lucy and Quattro Puppy's Rocker. The Naval Battle begins and Lucy immediately summons Aquarius, which Juvia immediately counters. Rocker is immediately thrown out of the water sphere and out of the competition. Lucy is nearly thrown out of the sphere when distracted by Aquarius's comment that she has to go back for a date, but is saved by her timely summoning of Virgo and Aries. Juvia, confident in her water abilities, unleashes an attack that propels Chelia, Risely and Jenny Eve outside of the water sphere. Juvia tries to see if Gray is impressed by her showing, but is distracted by his appalled facial expression, causing Minerva to easily push her out of the sphere. Juvia gets third place and six points for Fairy Tail B, leaving Lucy and Minerva in the water sphere. With only two competitors remaining, the five minute rule is implemented, with the person leaving the arena within five minutes relegated to last place. Minerva attacks Lucy with her magic, causing Lucy to feel heavy in the water. Lucy also realizes that Minerva has taken her celestial keys. Lucy tries to last five minutes, despite Minerva's continued attacks. As Minerva prepares to unleash an attack that will finally propel Lucy out of the water sphere, she hears Lucy tell her that she can't lose or else she won't be able to face her team members who have fought so hard. Minerva withdraws her attack momentarily, before sending wave after wave at Lucy as the clock winds down. Before Lucy can exit the water sphere, she reappears in front of Minerva, who continues attacking Lucy. The members of Fairy Tail can only watch in horror as Lucy is tortured even when the five minute mark has elapsed. Arcadia calls for the match to stop, with the referee enforcing his command. The competition ends with Minerva declared a winner and Lucy remains motionless.
